We need more transparency. The government should make an effort to be TOO transparent. Say stuff that perhaps should have been hidden. Make mistakes in THAT direction. Let the people know. In 10 or 20 years maybe we can make a correction and say “We really do need to hide some stuff”. But let us experience a time in which the government doesn’t actually manipulate us through lies and hidden information.

Shouldn’t even have to ask for things like transparency and accountability in our representative democracy, but the voters don’t seem all that interested in demanding it. Even in the face of widespread loss of confidence in our institutions.
BTW did you see recent Patel and Bongino appearances on Fox? They looked like deers in the headlights. Nothing but dodging and obfuscation from them. Patel looked extremely uncomfortable. They are all in on stonewalling the Epstein files, for whatever reasons. So much for hoped for transparency and accountability. Very disappointing.
